			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This past year we joined the <a href="http://www.nacenewengland.net/" target="_blank">New England Chapter</a> of <a href="http://www.nace.net/" target="_blank">NACE</a>, National Association of Catering Executives, and it has been such a fabulous way to meet other professionals in the events industry. Each month we get together at one of the member venues and enjoy a time to connect and network. We eat, we drink, we talk.<br />
<img src="http://allegrophotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/nace_event_westin_copley_place-1-590x393.jpg" alt="nace_event_westin_copley_place-1" title="nace_event_westin_copley_place-1" width="590" height="393" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-638" /><br />
Typcially we get to enjoy good music and great company. Sometimes there is a special program.</p>
<p>We started our evening in the Huntington Room.</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/3635296209/" title="nace_event_westin_copley_-3 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3297/3635296209_78b45dfc1a_o.jpg" width="410" height="590" alt="nace_event_westin_copley_-3" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/3635295351/" title="nace_event_westin_copley_-12 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr"></a>The Westin put together an amazing spread. Salmon eggs with passion fruit juice below.</p>

<p>Melon and mint soup/cocktail. Refreshing.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/3636108052/" title="nace_event_westin_copley_-5 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3330/3636108052_f0109de30a_o.jpg" width="590" height="410" alt="nace_event_westin_copley_-5" /></a></p>
<p>Jeri created some beautiful <a href="http://www.jerifloraldesign.com/" target="_blank">floral centerpieces</a>. I love the wheat grass at the base of these gerbera daisies.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/3635295133/" title="nace_event_westin_copley_-4 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2439/3635295133_4f598278cd_o.jpg" width="590" height="410" alt="nace_event_westin_copley_-flowers by jeri solomon floral design" /></a></p>
<p>I had never been in the Huntington Room and it was a great space for this type of cocktail party. Of course, Dave and I loved the natural light from all of the windows (to the right).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/3635295351/" title="nace_event_westin_copley_-12 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2464/3635295351_ac1f70fc41_o.jpg" width="590" height="410" alt="nace_event_westin_copley_-12" /></a></p>

<p>Whit Wales captured the <a href="http://www.waleswedding.com/Home.html" target="_blank">video</a> for the event. So we had to capture Whit&#8217;s signature bowtie.</p>

<p>Abby of <a href="http://www.bostonparkplaza.com/" target="_blank">Boston Park Plaza Hotel</a> and <a href="http://peachesbyplums.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Peaches by Plums</a> fame. You may recall that Abby did the flowers for one of our <a href="http://allegrophotography.com/2009/05/27/allegro-photography-studio-opening/" target="_blank">opening celebrations</a>. She is amazingly talented.</p>
<p>

<p>Naomi from <a href="http://generationscinemastories.com/" target="_blank">Generations Cinemastories</a> chats with Ashley of the <a href="http://www.fairmont.com/batterywharf" target="_blank">Fairmont Battery Wharf</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/3636108382/" title="nace_event_westin_copley_-9 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3622/3636108382_269b10f000_o.jpg" width="590" height="410" alt="nace_event_westin_copley_-naomi from generations cinemastories" /></a></p>
<p>Teresa, left, with her partner in crime, created the amazing floral designs from<a href="http://allegrophotography.com/2009/06/15/lisa-scott-wedding-boston-ma-downtown-hyatt/" target="_blank"> Lisa and Scott&#8217;s wedding</a> (<a href="http://allegrophotography.com/2009/06/30/details-floral-design-lisa-scott-wedding-boston-ma">read the floral story</a>). It was great to catch up with the <a href="http://www.mimosastyle.com/" target="_blank">Mimosa</a> team again.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/3635296143/" title="nace_event_westin_copley_-11 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2462/3635296143_c48838336e_o.jpg" width="590" height="410" alt="nace_event_westin_copley_- teresa from mimosa floral design" /></a></p>
<p>As members, we also have the opportunity to sponsor an event. Dave and I did so for the June event at the <a href="http://www.starwoodhotels.com/westin/index.html" target="_blank">Westin</a> in <a href="http://www.starwoodhotels.com/westin/property/overview/index.html?propertyID=1035" target="_blank">Copley Place</a>. This was a great opportunity to capture what a NACE event is like. And this particular month was focused on green initiatives. A matter near and dear to my heart. So I share with you a few of my favorite images from meeting portion of the event&#8230;.</p>
<p>Lyndsay from the <a href="http://www.fairmont.com/copleyplaza" target="_blank">Fairmont Copley Plaza</a> makes introductions.</p>
<p align="center">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/3636109076/" title="nace_event_westin_copley_-13 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2436/3636109076_68068f7297_o.jpg" width="410" height="590" alt="nace_event_westin_copley_-lyndsay from the fairmont copley plaza" /></a></p>
<p>We hear a bit from the engineering team of the <a href="http://www.starwoodhotels.com/westin/property/overview/index.html?propertyID=1035" target="_blank">Westin.</a> They have won all kinds of awards for their green practices.</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/3635296391/" title="nace_event_westin_copley_-14 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2429/3635296391_0d2c4875f8_o.jpg" width="410" height="590" alt="nace_event_westin_copley_-14" /></a></p>
<p>And then Gayle from <a href="http://www.artoftheevent.com/" target="_blank">Art of the Event</a> shares about green trends in event planning.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/3636109260/" title="nace_event_westin_copley_-15 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3599/3636109260_fc9c91c0be_o.jpg" width="590" height="410" alt="nace_event_westin_copley_-gayle from art of the event" /></a></p>
<p>When the program is over, we are treated to an absolutely phenomenal chocolate dessert bar. Let&#8217;s just say I had more than one.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/3636109300/" title="nace_event_westin_copley_-17 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3610/3636109300_0052b56377_o.jpg" width="590" height="410" alt="nace_event_westin_copley_-chocolate dessert bar" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/3636109442/" title="nace_event_westin_copley_-16 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3626/3636109442_f6b658197f_o.jpg" width="590" height="410" alt="nace_event_westin_copley_-16" /></a></p>
